Shabbat services this week Please see details below.
Please join us for this week's evening services- Friday, May 2nd led by Cynthia Lebowitz and drash given my Michael Lebowitz.
Cynthia and Michael are a duo of our Fantastic Four who provided us with a joyful Shabbat with their music. Cynthia takes the lead on the guitar and Michael delivers a profound drash.
A little about the Lebowitzes... In 1980 Cynthia began studying the TANACH and met Michael. He also had a love of Jewish history and they began a lifelong study of how to do Hashem’s commandments. Being a lover of history and education they attended CAJE (Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education) conferences and many other Jewish camps to learn. All that they have learned naturally flowed into the teaching of our 2 sons.
Cynthia learned how to play the ukulele while living in Hawaii then graduated to guitar and began leading services when needed with Michael doing the drash.
Doors open at 6:00pm Service starts at 6:30pm Kiddush and Hamotzi to follow after service
